Coffee, just life.

"every time I walk past this coffee shop, I can't help but slow down. You and I first met here." Wang Zheng's understanding of the coffee shop began with this old song. The lively and slightly sentimental melody also gave her a beautiful imagination of the coffee shop when she was young.

At one time, drinking coffee was a "ritual of life" for her, while a cafe was like a temple where rituals were completed.

"the roasted coffee beans emit dark brown light and are ground into powders of different thickness. suddenly they gush with strong dry fragrance, enter the coffee machine, and are pressed into a small cup of strong Espresso covered with golden oil by high-temperature steam at 9 atmospheric pressures. drink it and directly experience the magical effect of" leaking into the stomach and mobilizing the whole body. " Wang Zheng said. When traveling around, entering a coffee shop has a sense of "pilgrimage": sitting in a coffee shop, thinking of the "enlightenment" on the coffee table, the "political coffee shop" formed at the center of the Great Revolutionary Storm, the brilliant "coffee palace" of the industrial age, and the "Writer's Cafe" in the famous "coffee center". European history is shrouded in the aroma of coffee; on the left bank of the Seine in Paris, Voltaire, Napoleon, Rousseau, Hugo and Chopin, Sartre, Camus. These figures that have changed the historical and cultural face of the world all overlap with cafes. Walking into the coffee shop with a long history, breathing the constant aroma of coffee, as if having a low conversation with the air of that year.

Today, Wang Zheng, who has been "coffee-making" for six or seven years, has made it a habit to make cafes. "I don't need any other reason. As long as I want to go and drink coffee, I should go." She said, "collect a few shops of reliable quality, when feeling low and cold, find the nearest coffee shop to have a cup of mocha, the warm chocolate taste makes people feel happy; when tired, have a cup of Italian concentrate, a small cup makes the heartbeat speed up slightly; when hot and irritable, have a cup of Vietnamese dripping coffee, add a lot of ice, and neutralize the" sweet to sad "condensed milk into a refreshing taste. When I have nothing to do, travel halfway across the city to go to a coffee shop to try the quality of their coffee, hug a cappuccino and look at the crowd outside the window. Maybe pedestrians will laugh at me with a circle of milk bubbles hanging on my mouth. " Wang Zheng said that sitting in a cafe is actually a small tick and a small reward for a busy life.
